Summary

Teresa Ghilarducci and Tony James propose a retirement system designed to widen access to secure lifelong income. Their argument responds to declining pension coverage and inadequate savings.

The book presents a policy design and a case for its benefits. It is a proposal to examine against its assumptions, funding and administration, not a personal investment plan.
